This M5 thing is responsible for a horrendous lose of life. An artificial intelligence. A computer systen that thinks and learns. Hmmm. #TheUltimateComputer #MeTVStarTrek

In M5's defeat, it probably*wasn't* necessary for Kirk to be part of every landing party #TheUltimateComputer #MeTVStarTrek

M5 is agentic - oh, good #TheUltimateComputer #MeTVStarTrek

"not entirely successful" - one wonders, based on what we'll see the M5 do, what M1-4 actually did #RedFlag #TheUltimateComputer #MeTVStarTrek

The M5 replaces humans and needs no security - what could possibly go wrong? #TheUltimateComputer #MeTVStarTrek

Spock had the Enterprise on autopilot all the way to Talos IV, he had Daystrom beat.
Who needs the M5.

The Japanese-made Sord M-5 home computer, released in 1982, was named in homage to Dr Daystrom's creation in this story. Ironically it too was deemed a failure and discontinued after about a year. #AllStarTrek #TOS #TheUltimateComputer

Daystrom should have used someone else's brain patterns for the M5... #AllStarTrek #TOS #TheUltimateComputer

For unknown reasons, the M5 attacks and destroys an unmanned ore freighter. While Kirk and McCoy both demand that Daystrom offer an explanation. At no time does anyone think of directly asking the M5 why it took such action. #AllStarTrek #TOS #TheUltimateComputer

"Why M5? Why not M1?"

Well, 1-3 were destroyed during construction via various accidents and/or sabotage...4 mysteriously vanished without a trace twenty-four hours after coming online.

Oh wait, that's the Babylon stations 😁
